Default next mod?

so Im looking to get another mod now that I've saved a little, so far i have
CAI and tuner
JBA axel backs
cross drilled and slotted rotors
6,000K HID's
grill
interior crap(***** peddles ect)
15% tint

Im honestly stuck on what i want to do next look or performance wise, Im looking to spend around 300 or so on something. i was going to get the new hurst shifter but for some reason summit stopped selling it, i wanna do my suspension all at once. so i had in my head O/R x pipe, speaker upgrade, interior carbon fiber kit, LCA relocation kit, ducktail wing. What would you guys do next(feel free to add to the list)

What gears do you have? Consider 4.10's if you have 3.31's or 3.55's. Consider 3.73's or 4.10's if you have 3.31's.

How about UDP's or an aluminum DS? Either one will free-up a modest 3-5 RWHP.

If you're set on what you want to do suspension wise, why not start there? You have lots of options.

Get the 4.10's. Best bang for your buck with CAI and tune combo. Get the shifter from Brenspeed.

ive heard many good things about driveshafts. Not only will you make more power at the wheels but many people have said it rides nicer and drives better

Save up some more money and try to get the 4.10's. Call car shops around your area to find the lowest price and see if others will beat it.

I don't know how you drive your car. +1 for DS. UDPs are a good bet also if you are looking for better perfromance while maintaining or improving driveability and mileage. Gears are great for fast off the line acceleration but will cause you to rev higher at highway speeds and lower your top line.
